Yay! Read chapter 1 of Mandarin Duck Blades! Looking forward to chapter 2. Keep it up.

Could never get through the DGSD fan translation. I read chapter 1 on the site from years ago and I enjoyed it. Was jarring switching to the other translators and I gave up. Definitely want to see chapter 2 from you at the very least.

Thanks! Glad to hear that. I also wrote about why I started translating the novel.

Would a poll make sense here? My vote goes to SPW~
